Not only do the disinformation campaign and politicisation of public health threaten the gains made over the last six decades, they threaten the entire international effort to control these preventable diseases.

In the first of a series of pieces leading up to Saturdayโs Durham Minersโ Gala, we examine a forgotten corner of County Durham with a strong claim to be the one of the global birthplaces of the industrial proletariat.
Hey, please stop repeating the misinformation that corps are legally required to maximize profits or your shareholders can sue you. It's propaganda promoted by a handful of huge fund managers because they'd *like that* to be true.
Even SCOTUS agrees โModern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.โ (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby)
Also, what follows from this is another request I have: do not accept "but we have to maximize our profits!" as an excuse for shitty corporate behavior.
The duty leaders have to shareholders is basic, and comes down to at least trying to make some money; it absolutely does not require anyone to be a complete exploitative asshole. That's a *choice*.
Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's wealth, there's a natural human desire to make more wealth. Ever since Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a mosquito to an artery to the Google cash firehose. The Reg noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned five. And as for that money โ remember back in 2018? That's when Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its motto. Mozilla's leadership is directionless and flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a profit, because it never had to make a profit. It's no wonder it has no real direction or vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a business.
This is a good summary of all the good they have done and also how they repeatedly throw out the baby but keep the bathwater.
And this interesting bit.
Mozilla is, sadly, far from alone in having faltering leadership. Around the industry, tech execs who couldn't tell an LLM bot from an MLM scheme if their lives depended on it are investing in AI. It's not just cool, it's a cult now. This isn't hyperbole. The phenomenon has a name โ it's called TESCREAL, and it is without exaggeration on its way to becoming a religion.
The campaign will roll out in September. We are building the website and gathering "content," assets, allied organizations and staff right now. We were just featured on Zero Hedge.

FREE Allen Syncrograph Model E135 automotive distributor testing machine. What an antique! I have no idea if it works but it would sure look great as a display piece once cleaned up. You haul, no...
it's a device for tuning automotive distributors. looks like it's missing the chuck? you clamp the distributor onto that arm, and then a chuck is supposed to go from the plate up to the distributor. you put the wires on it and the thing spins the distributor at various speeds (see the 'engine speed' gauge) and the firing points show up on the plate at the bottom. the charts are various ignition timing information for various engines, so you can see how far off your distributor is and figure out what you need to change.

Probably so they could replace them with cars with special software to make repairs more difficult and so it would be more difficult for people to get cars that can not be location tracked
It is actually very difficult to externally rotate the hips as much as they do in ballet for some people that have never trained in it even if they can do the splits and had a lot of yoga
Balancing on only the toes instead of the whole foot is also challenging
These two features make ballet exercise unique compared too many other common types of exercise and uniquely different than many other types of dance

@shortstories My sister did ballet for years. She did not pursue it. She was remarkably fit and lithe. We are estranged... This reminded me of her. Sorry for rambling. Perhaps it was just cathartic release.
Aside: yoga is not a fitness regime. It is a spiritual practice to be grounded with Nature. Western ideas have subverted it. Unfortunate.
Also: The Russians were clearly better at this performance of Swan Lake. Synchronization and smoothness of movement.

@Valvoline I get the preference against discussing salary, but everything else should be on the table. The candidate is interviewing the company just as much as vice versa, so some information before accepting a second interview or offer is required.
I would certainly ask about the job scope and what kind of awesome projects they have to look forward to.
@Killer_Mule @Meachamus_Prime absolutely true.. However, new managers are a nightmare. It takes time and experience to get good at hiring and managing, like any skill. This seems like someone new.
